Doom 2 The Way id Did is the long awaited sequel to 2011's smash hit gargantuan, Doom The Way id Did. It comprises 32 fully texture-mapped mazes that endeavour to both look and play as though they've come from Dallas, 1994. From the very toiling hands of Sandy, John and American! The idea was originally kicked about by Jason Root aka Hellbent, whose passion for the game and knack for growing enthusiasm resulted in one of the most successful community collaborations in Doomworld history – not to mention an impressive collection of more than 100 total submissions. While not quite as successful as the first project in this regard, painstaking lengths have been made by those involved to ensure that D2TWiD is as true a doppelganger of id's Doom 2 as it could ever be. And we hope you agree!

We also hope you enjoy playing Doom 2 The Way id Did. Unless you disliked the game, in which case we'd be honoured if you regarded it with just as much contempt.

D2TWiD reserves the right to contain horrifyingly awful bugs and breaks. If you've found one, chances are it has been subjected to twid software's Leave It In™ policy. If you think whatever it is you've found is just too horrendous to go unchallenged, however (the map cannot be completed. The map doesn't exist), please report it in here and we'll do what we can to correct the issue.

I think Marnetmar has gone to bed, so I should just mention here that the latest version is at http://ionline.vectec.net/doom/D2TWID.zip -- there were some odd ZDoom-related bugs relating to the secret maps, that are now fixed.

Agreed. I was never really a big fan of DOOM II levels, they were such a huge departure from the style of the first game. I liked the somewhat cramped and claustrophobic hallway design of the first as opposed to the big open areas of the second. While I did enjoy some of the levels and certainly the new monsters, for the most part I felt many of the Doom 2 levels were kind of dull and uninspired compared the first game. Hell, some of them were even recycled left-overs from the first game. The music was also much less memorable. Just about every level from the first Doom have fond memories of. That is, except for E2M5: Command Control and E3M5: Unholy Cathedral which are the only two levels from the original Doom I can say I hate.

Well I guess the video I made for this a year ago was actually a sneak peak of Doom 2 The Way Id did it considering this is one of Essel's levels. The only thing that was different was me playing this with Doomguy's Warzone Gold Edition under the Real Life Enemies difficulty.
